Dave Cooke, aka “The Sales Cooke”, CEO, Strategic Resource Group, llc, will facilitate this event.  “Over the past sixteen months, I have been on an incredible, painful, challenging, and enriching journey.  The experiences of this journey have provided me with incredible insight into how to celebrate success and accomplishment every single day!  Despite the obstacles and challenges many of us face:

- There are numerous opportunities to be effective and successful.

- Attitude and effort defines everything.

- Even in the worst of situations it is possible to celebrate accomplishments.

- Every journey offers a resource to joy and happiness along the way.

This presentation is specifically designed to share what I have learned, what I have accomplished, what it means to me, and inspire others to put these lessons to use in their lives! “
